its over
What’s the problem here?
>>56497475Companies hire DEI consultants to get loans from BR and VG.Companies that are not struggling do not NEED the loans that BR and VG.Therefore, hiring consultants like this shows that the Pokemon brand is struggling.
>>56497470When the fuck was this screenshot taken?Are you telling me they weren't doing this shit already?
>>56497485People are saying this week.
Will never apply to Pokemon not matter how low it gets so enjoy your chosen future.
>>56497470Oh no.....no no no no no no
>>56497519If this is how Pokemon looks before a DEI consultant, I hate to see how far down we can go from here amd don't get me started on the God awful "revamp" of the Pokemon Go avatars.
>>56498431This image makes me physically fucking sick, how can you people play this shit, nu-gen slop has gone too far, its so fucking ugly, take me back to XY and SM, take me back to ORAS May, anything but this shit...
>>56498364I 'unno man, Star Wars was almost as meteoric as Pokemon, even during its slump of the 2000s.
>>56498441I like using the new pokemon.
>>56498431Fucking disgusting
>>56498487I wanna use them too desu but I just cant suffer it ill find a romhack with em
>>56498441I never understood comments like thisYou can literally play the old games, no one is forcing you to buy the new shitI'm literally playing emerald right now on my sp
>>56497470>dei and esg are facing massive backlash even from normies now>companies are still implementing it instead of dropping it asapFor what purpose? Pokemon doesn't need Blackrock or Vanguard money.
>>56498504It's a two fold problem. Firstly, in any reasonably directly comparable way, Japan's culture is approximately 10 years behind the west's. Secondly, Japan executives think they ONLY understand what goes on in Japan, and believe that they do not understand a single lick of what the west wants. This is part of the reason why they allow for localizations by third parties, rather than just regular translations.There's also the unfortunate implication that Pokemon isn't actually doing as well as it sounds like, considering they didn't even hire anyone who was well known but rather just hired an ex-yoga teacher.
>>56498495they updated it be more accurate lmao
>>56498495That's not even the worst example of how shit they made tge Go player characters, can't wait to see how DEI influences it even more
>>56498547good, it makes them look more like their players, kek no wonder they seethe when their avatar looks like a man and reminds them they will always be one haha
>>56497470Rest in Shit Pokemon, this franchise becomes more retarded each Gen
>>56497470>>56497479>>56497481>>56498431TPCI isn't in charge of the gamesJust marketing, licensing, etc for regions outside of Japan
>>56498674source?
>>56497475It lowers the quality.
>>56497481>now
>>56498705>The Pokémon Company International manages the property outside of Asia and is responsible for brand management, licensing, marketing, the Pokémon Trading Card Game, the animated TV series, home entertainment, and the official Pokémon website.https://corporate.pokemon.com/en-us/about/
>>56498431ew
>>56498674>>56498735This shit has been explained countless times, the faggots here don't give a shit, they just want to play pretend just like trannys.
>>56497470Reminder.https://corporate.pokemon.com/en-us/inclusion/https://corporate.pokemon.com/en-us/social-impact/
>>56498757Basically these are the equivalent of college clubs for the company itself I don't really give a shit who gets employed to do product marketing and licensing as long as they don't touch the stuff from Japan (which they aren't even paid to)
>>56497470Just kill TPCi already
>>56498735so to be clard they deal with like 99% of the franchise?
>>56498794The stuff you don't really pay much attention to like tv commercials or giving licenses for stuf like toys, water bottles, and school supplies
>>56498770They don't touch the Japanese stuff directly, but they are touching what goes international.
>>56498822Oh no they make more shit like the Pokémon Learning League and Path to the Peak whatever will I do
>>56498841Who do you think is responsible for localization?
>>56498844True but wake me up if there's any actual drastic differences between the localization and original Japanese scriptI'm not gonna be outraged over hypotheticals and from what I can tell, the actual people behind localization is only a small group compared to the vaster sea of employees hired to do whatever stuff that has nothing to do with the actual games
>>56498497Because people want new games that are good retard
big global brands always do thiscrapcom, squeenixobscurity is a blessing
>>56497470This is just the beginning, I'm getting deja vu of when Square Enix started to fall for this shit, hopefully it doesn't come to that.
https://youtu.be/XiCQj6KU1H0?si=hu9dgWgiMgdhF5YvThey already made Pokémon unite it's been over.
>>56497479>Therefore, hiring consultants like this shows that the Pokemon brand is strugglingAsh goes away and this happens.
>>56497475DEI consultans push for very retarded, politically-charged changes that literally always end with product being turned into shit.For TPC it's also kind of joever because virtually every piece of media infested by this kind of practices saw drop of popularity. The hardcore shills also can buy only that much of yellow rat shit and ultimately will sooner or later die off or not have money to spare due to ever increasing life expenses.It is the end of the line. Death of Tajiri's dream.
>>56499686 (me)For reference - look how assblasted Ubisoft got for reveal of the lass Assassin's Creed and how their only answer wad moving premiere to next year in hopes of just waiting off the shitstorm... which hilariously will backfire because for 2025 we got also announced sequel for Ghost of Tsushima that is direct competition for them and comes from studio that fucks everything made by them in last 15 years. This is how DEI works.
>>56499701And for even more blatant example - look at state of Disney and Hasbro. Both companies are melting away and rotting due to influence of this kind of politics. That's the future of Pokemon, a husk of it's former self. On brighter side soon the great dreams about expanding Pokemon's multimedia franchise will be over - TPC will run out of money for Netflix shows and more shitty spin-off games.
>>56497481You haven't seen any other brand if you think pokemon is woke.
>>56499774>TPC will run out of money for Netflix shows and more shitty spin-off games.Lmao
Pokemon will outlive everyone here
>>56499817Am I wrong, tho?Both Disney and Hasbro are cancelling or scaling down hard their failed, DEI-infested products. Why do you think Pokemon will be different? It's not that they shy away from cutting off shit not making money - Pokemon Movies are dead, all of their mobile attempts except like two are dead, fucking Pokken being deified as third leg of VGC is fucking dead.You're retarded if you think that this will not be what will happen.
>pokemon is dei slop nowfeels good to be a digifag
>>56499686>The hardcore shills also can buy only that much of yellow rat shit and ultimately will sooner or later die off or not have money to spare due to ever increasing life expenses.You underestimate the capacity of whales that have spent their entire lifetime being invested in the Pokemon brand.They're the sort of people who 10-20 years from now will desperately try to sell their merch and collectables long after the franchise went belly-up.
>>56497479>>56497470This isn't news pokemon has been with blackrock for years now.
who cares? thiz franchize has been dead for years living of nostalgia, let it rest in piece and palworld is the successor
All the issues with Pokemon and this is what you cunts cry about. Fucking snowflakes.
>>56497470I can't even imagine how being worse than Gen9 in terms of human characters and shitty woke subplots (Penny's) would look like.
>>56497470How old is this tweet? It has a copyright date of 2022. And those are early Gen 8 mons.
>>56498495>>56498547Pokemon Go isn't even owned or made by Nintendo or TPCi. They just license their characters out to the developers.
>>56498547Jesus.
>>56499904When will you fags release one (1) good game? It's been 30 years.>inb4 Digimon WorldRunning around with digishits that will die within the hour isn't fun, no.
>>56499845you're heart's in the right place bro, but these companies/brands are too big to fail
>>56499994never, even palworld and yokai watch did more than fucking digimon in thirty yearz sad
>>56498547>>56498431We are so fucked
>>56497470Pokemon is dead
>>56498431
>>56499908While whales are important source of income, examples from other big multimedia companies show that putting all money on them is not good and TPC makes sincere effort to not attract new people to replace them when they ultimately will hit economic wall of some kind.Time is a flat circle, what I'm talking about happened so many fucking times and will happen again and again and again.
>>56500034Based Japs for once
I still have MastersEX...
>>56500034Why does Penny get so much hate? She’s not actually a they/them, she’s just a dorky tomboy which is a perfectly fine archetype.
>>56499904
>>56500149Based. I love Penny, and it’s good to see someone defend her from this nonsense.
>>56500149>>56500218she is ugly and smellsand fucks those eevees
>>56500228>she is uglyShe’s not conventionally attractive, but that’s kind of what makes her cute.>and smellsAnd that’s supposed to be a bad thing?>and fucks those eeveesNo.
>>56500149She's a walking woke tumblrina stereotype, multi-colored hair, glasses, nerdy phone addict and unwanted sarcasm. I've seen way too many girls like her and they're all annoying as fuck. It's not about being a nerd girl, it's about being specifically the nerdy woke kind that infects fandom spaces (especially those with a predominantly female population) with social justice and excessive amounts of wokism.
>>56500149two things:-like many times minorities show up in games in movies, we've seen enough to make people suspicious-While her design is unnatractive as is, her in-game model is hideous.

>>56500357>whining about microaggressionsAt most we did so when we were warning you, years ago.What they're doing now is hardly "micro".
>>56500325Ball Guy more like NoBall Guy
>>56498674What about localization?
Did this board get mad about all the brown people in Alola or was that ok because Hawaiians are brown in real life?
>>56500425Try asking that on a thread where people get mad about brown people.
>>56499924Everything these people touch rots on the vine. They and their putrid ideology are a fucking disease.
>>56497475Trannies like Rika and ugly poos like Geeta and Raihan will be more common
>>56500521Rika isn't a tranny.
>>56500034The lack of the Swimmer class is the only one that hurts me. They were still in BDSP with the original design though, which was nice.
>>56500425No not really. I've spent way too much time on here and I've never really seen any posts complaining about non white characters in Alola. I have seen people bitch about the niggers and pakis in euro regions though.
>>56500380I fucking hope not!

>>56500008How's the court case fairing for you, Paubabby? Imagine all that effort going down the drain because you chink wannabe japs couldn't be distinctive in your Ark/Rust clone.
>>56499904>Bandai-NamcoWho's gonna tell him?
>>56500558I'm 99.99% sure that TPCi is also in charge of localization, so...
>>56500714As far as we know there's no court case, for now.Palworld is still available on Steam and Xbox (would be taken down immediately in case of legal dispute) + This kind of cases is public in Japan (so we literally know that there's nothing going on).It's bizarre. Usually this kind of announcements that Nintendo did is made when legal stuff starts happening or literally just hours before it. We are two weeks or so after things started and it's nothing.The fuck is happening at Nintendo that their ever so reliable Ninja-Lawyers are so sluggish this time?
>>56500714Your digishit never sold 20m copies that's why nobody cared
>>56497470Hopefully he does nothing and takes free money
>>56500681>troon suffering troll's remorse ruins a community that was doomed from the startsome cunt sipping starbucks lattes for 8 hours is not remotely as bad as this

>>56498513>There's also the unfortunate implication that Pokemon isn't actually doing as well as it sounds likeThere's zero fucking chance it's this. With how many corners they cut everywhere and how much they sell? This is definitely a greed situation, just more and more money, it's never enough.
>>56497470>>56498364How much longer will the continued erosion of our media continue.
>>56497475it's /pol/ woke meme: nothing new.

>>56498431>>56498495Looks shit
>>56500681As long as the tranny sticks to just making music, Sega will be fine, not like these faggots over at TPCi giving this random ass yoga instructor reigns on controlling DEI (which shouldn't be a thing in this franchise in the first place) in the games.
>>56501984which shouldn't be a thing in the first place*
>>56500681So this tranny just does music for them now?
>>56502026Also overseeing other games. He got promoted recently.
>>56501984TPCi exists mainly for localizing, marketing and publishing stuff in the west. For now, shitty, malicious translations are the worst you can expect from them.The state of this franchise is mostly Gamefreak's fault, I don't think they have DEI shit there. Not that they need it to ruin their own games.
>>56502097>>56500681Sonic is such a shit franchise lmao the devs being a bunch of troons fits it well
>>56500681I hate that every "woman" you meet with a slightly nerdy hobby like gaming or making music has a 99% chance of having a penis now

I'm neither for or against whatever schizo conspiracy you have, but keep thinking TPCi doesn't or can't touch the stuff from Japan. People thought that about Rune Factory too and they learned real fast.

>>56504912I'm saying that it's hard to make people look at you seriously when you start mouth foaming when you feel threatened.
>>56504944Saying you feel threatened is not the same of having a schizo conspiracy.
>>56505027There are quite a few studies that link someone's lack of general sense of threat and their ability to fall for conspiracy theories.But you don't care about that, or else you would know that words are flung around here for the purpose of getting the point across rather than being technically accurate.
>>56505054>There are quite a few studies that link someone's lack of general sense of threat and their ability to fall for conspiracy theories.There's also a pic in the OP of the thread where a guy literally says he was hired as a DEI consultant. So don't act as if you were the one who cared about evidence.
>People think this is going to impact the games, or any product for that matterYou guys are fucking retarded. This is all corporate hiring, policy-related bullshit. It has nothing to do with anything except that now there might be a black accountant at TPCI or some shit. I know to a moron, that's a scary thought, but I promise it'll all be okay and your waifu will still be white as snow.
>>56505083Nigger being hired as a DEI consultant can mean anything. The issue is that you retards don't actually know what it means before you start seizing up and making yourself look like morons. Then they point at you and laugh and then, in the future, if they want to do some shit they can, because their opposition are retards.
>>56500149She's half-pajeet, that's why.
>>56504050Testing is just done to make sure the game doesn't fucking crash or glitch outTesters can't provide input on story and designs
>>56498450star wars was definitely one of the "too big to fail" franchises until disney shat all over it. but the thing that really made people turn into SW wasn't even the fact that they greenlit a new trilogy without actually planning it, but them aggresivelly pushing woke shit and antagonizing the fanbase
>>56505360>Nigger being hired as a DEI consultant can mean anythingIt means he was hired as a DEI consultant. Meaning the position exists. Since you're not denying it you seem to be a schizo conspiracy theorist.> The issue is that you retards don't actually know what it meansEnlighten us.> if they want to do some shit they canSo we should be worried they can do shit then? Gotcha.
>>56498892then stop buying the new games that are bad double retard. havent played a pokemon game since usum and dont plan on starting again anytime soon, given how shills bought multiple copies of swsh to combat boycotters i wouldnt be surprised if gen 9 is the best they'll do for a long time>>56497470wrong containment board. you're looking for 4chan.org/pol. common mistake. we jerk off to fictional animals here, not real ones
>>56505677was phantom menace woke? people hated the new trilogy because it was bad. most people arent film critics, so they can only voice concerns in metrics they understand. "woke bad" is a lot easier and more concise a point than "the characters, dialogue, story structure, and plot consistency were all subpar, glaring flaws that vastly outweight any pros it mightve had. anyway go back to pol or whatever i said to op i hate this website

>>56497479>Therefore, hiring consultants like this shows that the Pokemon brand is struggling.Well whaddya know. Releasing subpar games DOES harm your image. I haven't heard anyone outside of the fanbase making speculations about Z-A since its announcement. Expectations are seriously low. I'm willing to bet that even the fanbase gets more excited about the latest breakthrough in the average fangame/romhack than the actual games.
>>56506009>I'm willing to bet that even the fanbase gets more excited about the latest breakthrough in the average fangame/romhack than the actual games.Nobody tell them about the LGBT Mafia
>>56500681Missed me yet?
>>56506716Oh, I know. Even then, they manage to get some results. It's a matter of GF not needing to innovate.
>>56505707You should be worried that you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. You cannot be this confident and screaming woke when you can't define what the position does because you don't look at job positions.Not to mention that you're already powerless to stop whatever they have in mind anyway.
>>56506009Nigger no one besides your fringe circle of zoomers knows what a Pokemon romhack is.
>>56497470Why is everything so fake gay and Jewish
>>56503167Why are they always white?
>>56500211That's still slop, just AI slop instead of whatever the fuck DEI is. I don't keep up with your culture war shit, and the current industry is dogshit with or without culture war garbage, I know that's a culture war term but I haven't the slightest clue what it means (nor do I care, because even without culture war garbage modern games would still be shit because they'd be made by a bunch of detached suits who don't understand what good game design is and only care about profit margins).
>>56497470
>5 years after SwoShit>STILL caring about this garbage franchise for any other reason than quality fap material OP, when are you going to cut-off your dick and balls already?
>>56508374And 8 years after SM
>>56501866Nigga, even with cutting all the corners producing, managing, promoting and distributing worldwide all the shit TPC is creating takes extreme amounts of money. Any game selling hundrends of millions copies (which desu I don't believe because it's really easy to manipulate these numbers if you're big enough) is worthless when you spend 80% of that just to make sure that next project will exist.
>>56507676I asked you what it is and you didn't answer so you are the one who doesn't know.> you're already powerless to stop whatever they have in mind anyway.I thought that was a schizo conspiracy theory though?

>>56511287So, Gen 5 was the point it went downhill, right?
>>56511287Don't these two literally they threaten to kill each other (With an actual attempted suicide explosion) in every single episode?
>>56511241Who the fuck cares about age ratings anymore? It hasn't stopped kids from playing GTA and COD since the its inception. Do kids even touch Dragon Quest outside of Japan?
>>56497479Pokémon is not struggling, don't be dumb. But they'll get tons of media harassment if they don't comply with global politics washing. Think of it as blackmail. Conglomerates would get uppity if they didn't get DEI and commission hitpiece after hitpiece until they did.
>>56513216It's fucking Pokémon. If they were able to get away with releasing subpar titles, they can withstand a couple of backlashes.
>>56497475Much like Star Wars, Pokemon gets the bulk of its money from merchandising. And, just like Star Wars, DEI slop doesn't sell. You can use Hollywood accounting make a movie look successful even if no one sees it, but little boys aren't going to buy an action figure of Rey. Pokemon stands to lose A LOT of money if they change up their cash cow, toy sales to children.
>>56513195Yeah and the sexual tension is off the charts
>>56500149Her design is very stereotypical to the average tumblrina >short hair>colored hair>androgynous outfit, hoodie>not conventionally attractive>absolutely no feminine features>socially awkward, computer hacker>glasses>backstory is getting bulliedShe is their self insert. If Penny was made by a western studio she'd 100% be a lesbian AT LEAST (and some people already think she's a lesbian because she said your mom was pretty)
>>56513309It won't be a couple. Americans are dumb af if they think they live in a freer country than North Korea. I'm talking about a complete BLITZ of hatred and misinformation, to the point fans will actually boycott the series thinking they're nazis.Media brainwashing is a weapon. DEI had that weapon on its side. There are retards that still think Kyle Rittenhouse killed black people.
